Bookworm

Lately, I have been a bookworm! I have read 3 books in the past few weeks, am working on a few, and have 2 more waiting to be read! 

This book was a total tear jerker

This one is incredible inspiring, and is already just setting my heart on fire!

And this one is ridiculously challenging.

 As soon as I finish up those last 2, I will start on these:

Have you read any good books lately?

DIY

Lately, I have been in a frugal, saving money kinda mood!

I am not good at coupons....so another way I have tried to save some money is by doing some things myself....or actually making somethings myself!

Not only has it been fun to tweak recipes to what works, but also to see how I can save money in different ways, AND do things at the same time that are great for our household and family!

Here are a few of the things I have started making/using:

Dishwasher Detergent

1 tbsp Baking Soda

1 tbsp Borax

1 tbsp White Vinegar (in the Jet Dry compartment)

This works amazingly...even in our dingy dishwasher!

Frugal Dryer Sheets

1 capful of liqud fabric softener

2 capfuls of water

Mix water and softner in a plastic container with lid. Put 1/2 a cheap sponge in the container. Each time you need a dryer sheet, wring out the sponge and toss it in the dryer!

Works GREAT! Found this here!

DIY Cleaner

Put 1 capful of liquid castille soap in a spray bottle. Fill rest of bottle up with water.

Coming Soon:

Laundry Detergent, Dish Soap, and possibly Shampoo! I'll let you know how those go!

MIA

I've been MIA from the blog world lately...

and I probably will be for the next week or so.

My health is not agreeing with me, and I am concentrating on figuring out why not!

Say a prayer for me if you don't mind.
